Black Watch & Welsh Guard Tickets

Black Watch & Welsh Guard is a compelling collaboration uniting the LA-based indie rock/dream-pop ensemble The Black Watch with The Band of the Welsh Guards, the regimental band of the Welsh Guards. Formed in 1987 by John Andrew Fredrick, The Black Watch has built a lengthy discography spanning from St. Valentine (1988) to The Morning Papers Have Given Us The Vapours (2024), showcasing a penchant for atmospheric melodies and intimate storytelling. The Band of the Welsh Guards, with roots dating back to 1915, brings ceremonial precision and powerful brass-driven textures that enrich this distinctive duo.

The joint project explores a blend of indie rock sensibilities with traditional wind and drum arrangements, illustrated by the 2006 collaborative album The Songs of Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales featuring the Pipes, Drums and Highland Dancers of The Black Watch and The Band of the Welsh Guards.
